RESUMO

This work deals with the influence of some factors in the mechanical behavior of asphalt mixtures stability and flexibility. Three types of binders were tested, conventional one, modified with 4,5% of SBS and modified with 20% of recycled tire rubber. Two aggregate gradations were tested, center of B and C gradations of DNER (1997). Four binder contents were chosen based on the air voids and film thickness. Three types of long-term aging were tested, not aged, aged in a forced-draft oven for 5 days at 85ºC and aged through weather exposition for the period of 4 months. Two types of short-term aging were tested; not aged and aged in a forced-draft oven for 4 hours at 135ºC. The technique of design and analysis of asymmetric fractional factorial experiments was used for the simultaneous analysis of the factors. The mechanical behavior of the mixtures was evaluated based on indirect tensile strength test, resilient modulus test and static and dynamic creep tests. The results of the analysis of variance allowed the identification of factors with significant influence in the answers. The influence of the factors in the mixtures properties was established through statistical models of behavior. The results showed that modified binders improves the mixtures resistance in relation to fatigue and to permanent deformation. The aging processes increased the resilient modulus of the mixtures, but also decreased its capacity of elastic return, resulting in a lost of fatigue resistance. On the other hand, the permanent deformation resistance of the aging mixtures increased, including the mixtures with modified binders cases.
